Paradise Path Task Force Minutes

["bill london" <bill_london@hotmail.com>]

NOTE:  The path system is in at Berman Creekside Park and offers a nice walk 
along the creek for visitors.  Later this spring we'll be finishing the 
grading, irrigation installation, and seeding of the large open space.
>  Planting of some of the garden areas will begin this spring and continue 
>in the fall.  There will be opportunities for the public to participate in 
>purchasing and planting flora for the various garden areas.  Enjoy!  Roger

>The graphic design team from the U of I showed the task force a mock up
>brochure and design options for T-shirts.  Types of signage for use on
>bollards and along the path were also discussed.  The team had researched
>some of the costs associated with printing T-shirts and brochures, but will
>continue to refine their estimates.  The goal of the task force is still to
>unveil the new logo during Arbor Week and possibly distribute T-shirts to
>those who volunteer to help with the planting along the Bill Chipman
>Palouse Trail on April 28, 29.

>Linda requested that the cost estimates be finalized as quickly as possible
>so that a request for funds can be taken forward to the Public
>Works/Finance Committee.  The graphic design team will work with Becky to
>update the information for the brochure.  The team will solicit price
>quotes for long and short sleeve T-shirts, with and without pockets, and
>with designs on the fronts and backs.

>Roger reported on the meeting he and Becky attended, which was sponsored by
>PCEI and included representatives from the National Park Service, Whitman
>County, the U of I, the Latah Trail Foundation, Latah County, and the
>Palouse Land Trust.  Michael Linde from the Seattle office of the NPS
>presented an overview of the Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance
>(RTCA) program.  He said that NPS would work with local entities to develop
>a RTCA proposal.  The program does not provide financial assistance for
>construction, but can provide assistance in planning, community outreach,
>and developing funding strategies.  Mr. Linde suggested that the group take
>a region-wide approach to developing a system of paths that might include a
>coalition of entities from Latah, Whitman, and Nez Perce counties.  The
>task force felt that such an approach should also include Asotin County.
>  Linda suggested that Moscow consider a proposal of its own which would
>focus on the path system within the city limits.
